The really good thing about Khan going back to SKY is we might finally see an end to PPV boxing in the UK!

When Khan moved to Primetime Live for his fight against McCloskey, Richard Schaefer CEO of Goldenboy confirmed if a broadcaster falls out with a Goldenboy fighter, they fall out with the whole stable. Since then Khan Vs. Judah, Floyd Mayweather Vs. Victor Ortiz and Pacman Vs. Marquez III have been on Primetime Live at £14.99 a pop.

Hopefully all future Goldenboy promoted shows will make a return to SKY Sports. Apparently Mayweather Vs. Ortiz bombed in terms of PPV buys.

Pacman is promoted by Bob Arum at Top Rank. For some reason I thought Marquez was being promoted by Goldenboy for this fight but he's Top Rank too.

Seeing Cotto Vs. Margarito III is on BoxNation, both are Top Rank fighters too, hopefully Boxnation can land a long term deal with Top Rank. If not looks like, if this weekends show is a success, Pacman might remain a PPV fighter in the UK.

Pacman will be on SKY Sports News live from the States between 8pm and 9pm tonight.

I don't think that will happen after last night, what a mistake Bredis made in the last round! I still cannot believe that manny won on points neither!

I'm pretty sure he'd face Prescott again if it made financial sense however Prescott has lost his last 2 fights and doesn't deserve to be anywhere near a world title shot.

Also whilst Khan does face "easy opponents" at times, his bout against Marcos Maidana proved he is not prepared to duck anyone.

For me Khan needs to face Timothy Bradley before moving up to Welterweight.

I watched the Primetime Live PPV of Pacman Vs. Marquez. Just before the judges decision was confirmed, Amir Khan called out Marquez for a fight next year.

really i didnt see the fight , be good if it happens (khan v marquez), i to think the bradley fight needs to happen , i would like to see khan v prescott 2 , i think people are always going to bring that fight up long after khan has retired , he nees to lay the prescott fight to rest once and for all , and prove it was a fluke.

UK fight fans would make Khan v Prescott into financial sense.Prescott refers to himself as Khanquerer Prescott,,,,,im sure amir khan would like to relieve him of that.Its a pity Prescott made a mess of his last fight.

i agree him losing has made it harder to sell , like you say us uk fans are the only ones who would buy into the fight , i think lennox lewis is the only fighter to avenge his defeats .

i agree that boxnation have screened some very poor fight nights,,,,but to listen to Buncey they have all been brilliant.there must be a big improvement to make it worth even a tenner.is FW the bad or slow payer to his fighters?some boxers complain they go months before payment.
